The Problem with Immigration Laws
The United States of America has always been a country with a lot immigrants. The country was founded on them. As time went on the United States made laws that people had to follow to get into the country because of how many people were coming over.

He has even gone to say, in that same report, that immigrants are necessary “The report called immigration “integral to the nation’s economic growth” because immigrants bring new ideas and add to an American labor force that would be shrinking without them, helping ensure continued growth into the future” (Preston) Some of the jobs immigrants take are the ones American workers don’t
